B16A or B18A with J1 tranny?

What are your opinions on the B16A motor or the B18A motor. Either one will be mounted to a J1 tranny. I like the idea of all-motor over FI. It is going into a 1991 DX hatch. Thanks

All motor: B16A

FI: B18B

I personally like the B16A's... so smooth, and they have such a good top end.

I like my friends B18A w/ its lower end torque, but starts to feel raspy @ 5k rpm....where as my B16 starts to scream all the way to 8k....
B16

>>>then save for a B18 block!

God I love the sound and feel of VTEC.. I mean it's unmistakeable. Even my cousins who are into strictly domestics are impressed with the B16 and how it pulls from 4500 all the way up to 8000+
